So some vendors of smart DNS advise their customers to put hard blocks on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in order to get multi region netflix etc. working
anyone with such a block could be missing out on newest sigil updates. because sigil will conclude there is no reachable google dns and therefore no internet ( heck, they may even still have book view working  - just saying )
i see no need for changes, but this thread may help explain the next obscure sigil cant find updates complaint..
googling "block google dns for netflix" will show that it is a popular query and bring up various references |
I'm perfectly OK with people who are trying to outsmart geo-restrictions (of any kind) outsmarting themselves right out of knowing about Sigil updates being available.
